4. Sell the business space of your videos:

This is for people who post videos for own business purpose or doing videos for clients.

In this method, you can start ranking videos for the high competitive keywords on Google & YouTube and sell the business space or entire video to them.

Unlike ranking websites, ranking YouTube videos are very simple where you can rank the videos within a day or few by optimizing the videos and meta details properly.

Companies will not spend time in posting videos etc. So, they will approach video marketers for generating business leads. By doing this you can earn higher than you can earn from the Adsense, affiliate marketing, and direct ads.

The best example is ranking a video for the high competitive local search keyword like "Electricity servicers in California". Once there is a problem in the electricity connection most people search Google searching for service and when they find the ranked video they will immediately watch the video and dial the number given at the end or in the description. By this way, you help the company to get a new potential customer.

Usually, such keywords have a high competition where companies spend $10 dollars just for a click where a lead or sale is not guaranteed. By generating a lead, you can charge up to $30 for the lead.

Get your videos listed on recommended links: Apart from getting traffic from the search results, YouTube videos get high traffic only from the recommended videos listed on the sidebar on the desktop and given as a list on the smartphones. You must build the trust & brand and make visitors engage on your videos for a long time to make YouTube recommend your videos to the users when they watch videos of other channels. This can generate ten times more traffic compared to the organic traffic. Usually, this is impossible for websites to get such traffic.

5. User engagement: YouTube search engine is different from the Google search engine. While Google ranks websites and videos* majorly based on the authority, the YouTube ranking majorly depends on the user engagement over the video. Your video must make the users stay for more time, this is the white hat way to rank the videos on YouTube which might take some days. While everyone can create great videos, not all great videos are ranked on YouTube.

6. Building authority: Though YouTube considers user engagement and user experience as one of the major ranking factors, building authority to your channel and videos can help you to rank your videos permanently on the YouTube and Google search. When most of the videos are equally good, then the backlinks will help you to rank the videos higher on the search engines.

7. Social presence: The social presence is very important when it comes to YouTube to generate free traffic and authority. Share your videos in the social medias and if your video(s) is good it can go viral and bring thousands of visitors on the same day. This will help you to earn thousands of dollars in one day. Make use of the social media power to increase traffic, gain authority, earn money and to rank videos on the search engine(s). However generating traffic from social medias does not work for videos of most category and works great for entertainment and fun videos.

8. Building brand: Building the brand is very important in both online and local business. The same applies to the YouTube channels. You must consistently build the brand by proper marketing, optimization, high-quality content so that people directly flood into your channel. You don't have to worry about the search traffic which will vary regularly as per algorithm changes. As said in the beginning part choose a brand name for your channel instead of general name targeting keywords.

9. Increase the number of subscribers: The subscribers and social media followers are very important to get repeated/regular visitors to watch the new and existing videos. Ask the visitors to like, comment and subscribe to your channel and also ask them to follow your channel on the social medias. Whenever a new video is posted the YouTube will notify the subscribers to view the new video posted. If you have 10000 subscribers, at least 25% - 50% will watch your new videos. Also, you can share the URL in your fan page to invite the followers to watch your video. By this way, you can make more than $100 whenever you post a new video.

10. Create an active community: People will start commenting videos both negatively and positively. You must respond all the comments to build a community. Visitors trust content with the comments than content without comments. This is more important when you do affiliate marketing on the YouTube. Creating active community will grow your channel to great heights.

11. Frequency of posting videos: Post videos in regular intervals. Initially try, to post one or two videos per day and then maintain a frequency of one video per day. Later you can post one or two videos per week. Do not leave your channel without posting videos for over a month. Do not compromise on the quality of the videos.

Unlike websites, people click video only after seeing the thumbnails. So you must create custom thumbnails and add to your video instead of leaving the auto-generated thumbnails. 90% of traffic totally depends on the thumbnails.

15. Eye catching title: The title is more important than the thumbnail which is the one seen first by both the YouTube users and the search bots. Visitors look at the thumbnail only after seeing the title. The title must be eye catching and must contain the keywords to get ranked and clicked. Surprising titles with a custom thumbnail have more chances to be watched than the unoptimized titles.
